The whole point of higher resolutions in newer displays IS to sit closer. Of course, it is all personal preferences. To me, the ideal screen size is where you have to move your eyes to see the whole screen, where the screen takes up the majority of your field of vision. The width of the screen should be nearly the same as the distance from the screen to your eyes, or at least 75% of that distance, for a good movie-type experience. A casual, "the TV set is on in the background of regular life"-type experience may be OK with a smaller screen, or one that is further away, I imagine.
